The Pen Tool
Drawing with the pen tool in Adobe Illustrator can be painfully frustrating. You have problems getting those smooth lines and after spending hours watching video tutorials on YouTube and trying over and over again, you see no progress in your work.
I get it, I’ve been there too.

With this course, I provide a complete road-map for success with your vector shapes.

Hi, my name is Viktor Baltus
I’m a Dutch designer with a passion for calligraphy and typography. During my studies in Amsterdam, I discovered a love for font-making and now I love helping other aspiring designers turn their font-making dreams into reality. I believe in teaching in a clear and concise manner, so my students can easily understand and grow as designers. Whether you're looking to pick up new design skills or just brush up on your knowledge, I'm here to help.
Since launching Type Design Class, I’ve had the privilege of helping over 2000 students learn the art of typography. I’m proud to say that our platform has become one of the leading names in online typography courses, and I’ve even had the opportunity to partner with industry leaders like Glyphs, The Futur, Goodtype, and Fontself. I'm so grateful for the chance to share my knowledge and help others achieve their design goals.
